Supper/Dinner Time! What's on the menu ?

Some days are like that. I'll sometimes have just popcorn and chocolate for dinner, lol.

Tonight I had a Beyond burger on a bun with mustard, relish, red onions and pickles with a side of green grapes.

we are in sync - last night we also had a Beyond burger, on a bun with mustard, ketchup, onion, hummus and Daiya Gouda cheez and some hash browns on the side - it is the first I have had a Beyond burger in years as I couldn't stand the smell - thankfully the new ones don't have that smell and so it was good, although it didn't have any kind of "snap" very soft

if I buy them again I will buy the larger package at Walmart as that is $20 for 6 and the package I bought was $10 for 2. The Yves chkn burgers that we buy are much less expensive and possibly tastier - $7.50 for 4

I'm having potato croquettes and a big salad with balsamic glaze. I will probably have something from the freezer with it, a burger or "chicken" pieces.

Beyond burgers are almost always the vegan burger in restaurants here. I quite like them, but wish there was more variety.

I agree on the Beyond burgers. The first iteration was really nasty-smelling. This batch, not so much. I get the large package at Costco. I think it's around $16 for 10 patties. Not too bad price-wise.

Not sure what is on tap for dinner tonight. My sis and I are going to eat out before our Creed concert. I think we are trying out a food hall that had some options for me. I might get a falafel wrap.

Sunday night we had hummus/salsa cucumber, bell pepper strips, tortilla chips, a few bread sticks.

Last night I ate a rinsed can of chick peas with apple cider vinegar, a bit of soy sauce sauce, garlic powder etc and then a tiny bowl of noodles.

Hmm, an interesting mix, I’ll try that, but using lentils or butter beans instead of chickpeas… nothing against chickpeas, I just prefer the former, though it’ll prob change the result.
Never, ever used vinegar, but I do use a little hot chilli
 
souped up rice in the cooker (raisins, fennel seeds, garlic powder, cayenne powder) and in the frying pan a ton of frozen brussels sprouts and Ikea veggie balls in some Korean BBQ sauce - a few potato chips for dessert

Does your Costco regularly have Beyond? I think it's been close to a year since I saw them their--and they were without the avocado oil.

I'm making smashed vinegar and salt baby potatoes. Saw them doing it on Americas test kitchen and look so good. I'll have with a salad

Edit: Recipe I used called for apple cider vinegar :yuck:. Sounded bad, but I went with it--I would use white vinegar (malt is too pricey!)
Cooked potatoes in IP with the vinegar, and would do that to make potato salad

I have leftover orzo and peas in an Italian sauce so I'm going to have that with a "chicken" burger and a side salad. I might have some ice cream or sorbet lor dessert.
 
I finally made some pesto last night so we had it with gnocchi - I sauted onion and garlic in a pan and then added white kidney beans with a touch of Korean BBQ sauce - then mixed the pesto with the gnocchi and put them altogether - it was good.
